- St Patricks House was built in the year four hundred and thirty two. It was built with mortar and stones. It was about eighteen feet high and twenty feet long. It was built since St Patrick came to Ireland. The man's land it is built in is John Grady's of Aughagower. There is only one gable remaining and you can see the track of the doors and of his knees where he was kneeling when he was praying.
